ROME, February 27,-Heartrendlng
details OF the disaster caused by the
earthquakes continue to. arrive. AT
Diano Marine; to-day, child of twelve
years and her father were extricated
| from the debris when the latter expired
upon the spot. Survivors at Dlano
Marine say that majority OF the VIC
tins were killed by the second shock,
| people having re-entered their houses
| to procure clothing The sum VI
| $4,000 has been found in the runs
there. Bodies wrapped in shrouds lie
the middle of the streets. The panic
was renewed at Genoa to-day on q false
report that Father Denza had predicted
another shock. Both there and at
Sarone the people refuse to return
to their houses. They sleep in
IimproVised places of shelter.
Slight oscilla tons were felt to- day, at
Albenga and Porto Maurzio. Relief
committees are being organized
throughout the country, but it is i'm
possible to supply the numerous wants.
A bill will be introduced in Parliament
for a credit OF S1,0O0,O00. for relief pur-
poses.
Troops have been compelled to keep
of despairing men and women who
were impeding the work of excavation,
in their efforts to find missing relatives.
The bodies of victims of the disaster are
terribly disfgured. The sutferings OF
the survivors are great, the supply of
provisions and drugs and the ambu-
lance apparatus icing painfully in
adequate. The work of the rescuers is
attended with cons;dera BILE danger. In
some cases they have been obliged to
fee from the tottering walls, although
they could hear the groans OF victims
buried beneath tie debris. AL mem
bers of the family of the mayor of
Baiatdo were killed. Of another family,
consisting of twenty two persons,
named Maestri, only a single member.
haif-demented, is: left. Half clothed
people are wandering on the. seashore,
exposed to the inclement weather. At
Diano Marine woman and child were
taken out alive after being .ent0mbed
three days. Groans can still he heard
in the ruins, especially in the Via Carl
baldi. The lost oil was valued at
$500, 900. The losses on other prop
erty are heavy Oneglia is threatened
with storm of rain or snow, which
will cause fearful distress, although
clothing and supplies of all kind are be-
ginning to arrive in ample quantities
from Genoa. Tents for the refugees are
bling erected and volunteers for search
parties are plentiful. The activity of
Genoese doctors is beyond praise. A
boy was entombed three days, and
was rescued unhurt in bed. Nobody
enters house who is able to obtain
shelter elsewhere. Only new and well
built houses are habitable. .
PARIS. February 27.-M Lockrey,
minister of public works, says that the
sewers in the shaken districts are 50
damaged that the soil will become in
tec ed with sewage and be source of
contagion as soon as the hot weather
comes. Government viii send en-
gineers and specialists to do everything
possible to avert such disaster. 1t is
stated that British travellers continue to
arrive at Calais, en- route 10 the south.
NJ Flammarian has written an article,
in which he says that the continuance
OF minor shocks is likely. A chasm has
opened in the ground near Nice, from
which a stream of hot, muddy water
bubbles up. Portions of the coast have
sunk ard other portions have risen. A
stiff wind is flowing at Mentone, max
ing 1t dangerous to walk ABOUT yet.
Hundreds of visitors from a distance
have arrived there, being impelled by
curiosity. Building inspectors have
condemned two-thirds of picturesque
old Mentone.
